Chapter 845: Chapter 21: 24 Hours (Part 5)
This hand was like a towering mountain.
Gloom enveloped an area of a hundred zhang.
In an instant, Master Xuanzhi was as if trapped in a quagmire. He did not retreat, nor did he dodge.
Master Xuanzhi rely gazed at the massive shadow drawing closer…
A hundred zhang, fifty zhang, thirty zhang—
Crack.
The jade hairpin pinned behind his head shattered with a bang.
Master Xuanzhi lived a simple life, usually dressed in hemp clothes and bamboo raincoats while plowing the fields. This jade hairpin was the only luxurious accessory he possessed, tracing its history back a hundred years.
This jade hairpin was the first gift he received after joining the Taoist and the only gift he ever got.
Back then, countless geniuses shone brightly in the Taoist.
With diocre talent and inconspicuous presence, Master Xuanzhi considered himself lucky to have been accepted under Chong Kan’s tutelage. It took him an entire year to reach Foundation Establishnt, not an impressive feat, but on the day of Foundation Establishnt, Chong Kan personally crafted this jade hairpin for him, warm in winter and cool in sumr, inscribed with the words “Xuanzhi.”
Xuanzhi Grass is a common alchemical ingredient in the Taoist Pavilion.
It is found everywhere, inexhaustibly gathered and used.
No matter the ti, Xuanzhi Grass always sells for the cheapest price, the most affordable dicinal herb—
But most pill recipes cannot do without Xuanzhi.
The most ordinary things in this world.
Often are the most crucial.
The grass is thus, and so are people.
That day, Master Xuanzhi not only received a beloved treasure but also a Dao na to be used for life.
And now.
With the shattering of the jade hairpin.
The long hair Master Xuanzhi had grown over sixty years cascaded to the ground like a waterfall, and the cultivation accumulated over years cascaded along with it. His black robe was billowed round by the fierce wind, powerful energy rising higher and higher. Even with the grand formation concealing the back mountain of the Taoist, at this mont, countless clouds converged, and countless grasses and trees bowed in submission.
…
…
In front of the formation in the back mountain.
Daoist Zhu, feeling a full body ache, stood up while rubbing his old waist. Before he could steady himself, he sensed the descending anomaly.
Daoist Zhu looked up at the heavenly peak, feeling sowhat dizzy.
“This is…?”
“Soone is achieving enlightennt, ascending to Yang God!”
The figure of the Master of All Wonders coalesced rapidly like mist near Daoist Zhu.
He looked at the heavenly peak with a sowhat grim expression.
Since Master Xuanzhi set foot in the back mountain, the entire area within a radius of ten li was sealed by a grand formation, with even him, responsible for guarding the mountain path, unable to enter or leave.
“Xuanzhi?!”
Daoist Zhu’s voice was hoarse, unable to hide his shock: “This guy has gone mad… Did he go to the back mountain this ti to spar with his Master?”
“…”
Master Yanwei stared at the anomaly for a long ti, hesitantly asking, “What exactly have you and Master been setting up in the back mountain these past days?”
As the Master of All Wonders, Master Yanwei usually road around the Tianyuan area.
He had no intention of ddling in the affairs of the back mountain.
It was just that…
Master Xuanzhi’s ascent today was indeed too suspicious.
“I…”
Daoist Zhu had a bitter feeling but couldn’t speak, finding a half-truth excuse: “Master wanted to assist in cultivation, so I helped accumulate primordial energy for him, and borrowed a lot of fortune from Qingnang Mountain.”
“Is that so?”
Master Yanwei squinted his eyes, sensing sothing strange.
“Ascending to Yang God is no trivial matter.”
Daoist Zhu quickly changed the subject: “Master Xuanzhi is truly muddle-headed… if he could ascend, Master would naturally make ample preparations for Qingnang Mountain. Now, with primordial energy depleted in the back mountain, what if he fails in ascension?”
“…There’s no need to worry.”
Master Yanwei silently watched the heavenly peak.
Those anomalies ca fast and went quickly as well.
In less than ten heartbeats.
The dark clouds showed signs of dispersing.
“Could it be that he’s already failed?”
Daoist Zhu, faintly sensing what had happened in the back mountain, couldn’t help but ask.
“No…”
Master Yanwei shook his head, his voice complex: “On the contrary. Master Xuanzhi has successfully achieved enlightennt.”
He had witnessed many brilliant cultivators ascend to Yang God over the years, overcoming two major tribulations.
Except for that one from the Martial Sect, the rest all ended in failure.
The anomalies drawn by proving the Dao with Yang God don’t dissipate easily. If a cultivator fails, the outco would be quite miserable—
The reason these tribulation clouds dispersed was not because Master Xuanzhi failed the tribulation—
It was because Xuanzhi swept away these tribulation clouds with a crushing force!
…
…
At the mont the hairpin shattered,
The aura around Master Xuanzhi, like a dam breaking, instantly surged through the Yin God Realm!
In fact, he had long transcended this realm.
After the conclusion of the Battle of Poison, it wasn’t long before his Great Dao had already ford.
The reason there were no anomalies.
Was because there was no “cause and effect”—
In the entire cultivation world, it was nearly impossible to find another oddity like “Xuanzhi,” who had lived on Qingnang Mountain for a hundred years. His Lifebound Cave Heaven and Qingnang Mountain had nearly rged into one. His Daoist Skill was natural, and he never intended to use the “Great Dao” to fight, so even when the Great Dao ford, it was useless.
He never wanted to cultivate, but every mont he was cultivating.
By chance and fortune…
Such an example of the Great Dao forming without being tainted by cause and effect appeared for the first ti in a thousand years.
Xuanzhi had long since reached the Yang God Realm.
But to him… achieving Yang God was not sothing to be proud of. Every day he was busy, waking up to carry water, irrigate fields, prune branches, herd cattle, feed chickens. There were also two silly disciples to care for, teach, and guide. He had no mind for Yang God, nor Yang God Tribulation.
Thus, the Xuanzhi who had reached the Yang God Realm, had no so-called Yang God Tribulation.
Until today.
He used his cultivation to counter the hand pressed down by Chong Kan.
The Heavenly Secret shattered, and tribulation clouds gathered.
Only for a mont, they were shattered by Master Xuanzhi—
No.
To be precise, at this mont, Xuanzhi could no longer be called “Master.” In the thousand-year history of the Taoist, countless have been extraordinarily talented, but only a few hundred could claim the title of “Master,” and those who could earn the title of “Great True Master” were exceedingly rare, scarcely more than can be counted on one hand even in the most prosperous Golden Ages.
At this mont, anyone addressing Xuanzhi must respectfully call him Great True Master.
The dharma palm, imbued with heavenly might, was rebounded by the overwhelming powerful energy.
High above, Great True Master Chong Kan’s expression was no longer calm.
He looked in astonishnt at his forr least favored disciple…
One hundred years of plowing, one hundred years of planting, attaining enlightennt in a single day, reaching the peak in a single day.
The robe on Great True Master Xuanzhi flowed like clouds.
His energy rose layer upon layer, showing no sign of stopping.
Yang God First Heaven.
Second Heaven.
Third Heaven.
He broke through three realms in succession, with no sign of stopping.
The thick energy rose to the Fourth Realm, slowing slightly, but the overall trend remained unstoppable, like a river…
He like this consecutively shattered six thresholds!
Until reaching the sixth realm of Yang God, the thick energy finally slowed down.
It is said that hearing the Dao in the morning allows one to die content in the evening…
Once enlightened, one can indeed reach the pinnacle!
